When they arrived, a man was seen acting suspiciously.

He was searched and arrested after 13 wraps of class A drugs were found.

Police dog Tilly then led her handler to a bedroom where she alerted them to a purse along with other items.

Officers found three balls of suspected cocaine and heroin, as well as approximately £5,000 in cash.

Tilly also located cannabis that had been concealed under a kickboard in the kitchen.

A second man at the property was arrested.

The suspects, aged 45 and 46, were detained on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

The 46-year-old was also arrested in connection with a robbery, threats to kill, and an assault that was reported to have taken place last Saturday (September 9).

Both men have since been released on bail while inquiries continue.
